(no subject)

Seems like I have done nothing since I started getting my roof repairs arranged at the beginning of the month. In the past ten days, I scanned my TV channels and my sister's a couple times to get all the channels back. (Both of us had been missing PBS for about a month before the big digital change). And that's about it except for reading and a little technical writing for myself. It's easy to get cabin fever here in the summer, and I'm feeling a little glum about missing the ATPo get-together next week. So I decided to do some cooking which is something I don't do a lot of in the summer because of the air conditioning. I got most of the fixings yesterday, and went out for a few things today. The young woman at the register sees that all I have is oranges and barbecue sauce, and asks, "Are you barbecuing today?" ""Yes." "What are you barbecuing?" "Ribs." She smiles.

So it's cooking away, and in about a hour I'll have more calories than three people need, but I think I'll feel better.
